Rapid identification of P. aeruginosa-derived markers in easily accessible patients’ samples can enable an early detection of P. aeruginosa VAP (VAP-PA), thereby stewarding antibiotic use and improving clinical outcomes. Methods: Metabolites were analysed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in prospectively collected urine samples from mechanically ventilated patients admitted to the Antwerp University Hospital ICU. Patients were followed from the start of mechanical ventilation (n = 100 patients) till the time of clinical diagnosis of VAP (n = 13). Patients (n = 8) in whom diagnosis of VAP was further confirmed by culturing respiratory samples and urine samples were studied for semi-quantitative metabolomics. Results: We first show that multivariate analyses highly discriminated VAP-PA from VAP–non-PA as well as from the pre-infection groups (R2 = .97 and .98, respectively). A further univariate analysis identified 58 metabolites that were significantly elevated or uniquely present in VAP-PA compared to the VAP–non-PA and pre-infection groups (P < .05). These comprised both a known metabolite of histidine as well as a novel nicotine metabolite. Most interestingly, we identified 3 metabolites that were not only highly upregulated for, but were also highly specific to, VAP-PA, as these metabolites were completely absent in all pre-infection timepoints and in VAP–non-PA group. Conclusions: Considerable differences exist between urine metabolites in VAP-PA compared to VAP due to other bacterial aetiologies as well to non-VAP (pre-infection) timepoints. The unique urinary metabolic biomarkers we describe here, if further validated, could serve as highly specific diagnostic biomarkers of VAP-PA.","PeriodicalId":47060,"journal":{"name":"Biomarker Insights","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46598480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: We performed a comparative cross-sectional study in 2 emergency departments (EDs), suPAR measurements being incorporated into routine blood sampling in the intervention ED. The primary outcome was the number of discharges from the ED. The importance of the outcomes was examined by appropriate multi- or bivariate analysis. Results: The absolute and relative number of discharges were similar between the intervention and control groups [121 (55.3%) vs 62 (55.9%)]. No significant differences between the groups were seen in the length of stays in the ED. Patients with low suPAR values were more likely discharged and patients with high suPAR values more likely admitted to hospital. Two admitted patients with low suPAR values could have been discharged safely. Conclusion: The utilization of suPAR did not increase the risk for neither positive nor negative outcomes. Low suPAR values could be potential in discharging more patients safely. Instead of unselected patient populations, the benefits of suPAR measurements in the ED could emerge in the assessment of a more precisely determined and selected group of patients.","PeriodicalId":47060,"journal":{"name":"Biomarker Insights","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44637318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has limited therapeutic options compared to other subtypes of breast cancer. There is now a growing body of evidence on the role of immunotherapy in TNBC, however much of the data from clinical trials is conflicting and thus, challenging for clinicians to integrate the data into clinical practice. Landmark phase III trials using immunotherapy in the early-stage neoadjuvant setting concluded that the addition of immunotherapy to chemotherapy improved the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate compared to chemotherapy with placebo while others found no significant improvement in pCR. Phase III trials have investigated the utility of immunotherapy in previously untreated metastatic TNBC, and these studies have similarly arrived at inconsistent conclusions. Some studies showed no benefit while others demonstrated a clinically significant improvement in overall survival in the PD-L1 positive population. It is not yet clear which biomarkers are most useful, and assays for these biomarkers have not been standardized. Given the often serious and severe side effects of immunotherapy, it is important and necessary to identify predictive biomarkers of response and resistance in order to enhance patient selection. In this review, we will discuss both the challenges of traditional biomarkers and the opportunities of emerging biomarkers for patient selection.","PeriodicalId":47060,"journal":{"name":"Biomarker Insights","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47216587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This commentary discusses this question by considering data concerning overall biobank and biospecimen numbers to estimate current biospecimen supply and use. The data suggests that biospecimen supply exceeds current demand. Therefore, it may be important for individual biobanks to reassess the targets for their inventories, consider culling unused portions of these inventories, and shift resources towards providing prospective custom biobanking services.","PeriodicalId":47060,"journal":{"name":"Biomarker Insights","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46273835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cytokines play especially important roles (both positive and negative) among the molecular actors of AAA development. All the inflammatory cascades, extracellular matrix degradation and vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis are driven by cytokines. Previous studies emphasize an altered expression and a changed epigenetic regulation of key cytokines in AAA tissue samples. Such cytokines as IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-17, IL-33, IL-1β, TGF-β, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and CXCL10 seem to be crucial in AAA pathogenesis. Some data obtained in animal studies show a protective function of IL-10, IL-33, and canonical TGF-β signaling, as well as a dual role of IL-4, IFN-γ and CXCL10, while TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12/IL-23, IL-17, CCR2, CXCR2, CXCR4 and the TGF-β noncanonical pathway are believed to aggravate the disease. Altogether data highlight significance of cytokines as informative markers and predictors of AAA. Pathologic serum/plasma concentrations of IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, IL-8, IL-17, IFN-γ, and PDGF have been already found in AAA patients. Some of the changes correlate with the size of aneurysms. Moreover, the risk of AAA is associated with polymorphic variants of genes encoding cytokines and their receptors: CCR2 (rs1799864), CCR5 (Delta-32), IL6 (rs1800796 and rs1800795), IL6R (rs12133641), IL10 (rs1800896), TGFB1 (rs1800469), TGFBR1 (rs1626340), TGFBR2 (rs1036095, rs4522809, rs1078985), and TNFA (rs1800629). Finally, 5 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in gene coding latent TGF-β-binding protein (LTBP4) and an allelic variant of TGFB3 are related to a significantly slower AAA annual growth rate.","PeriodicalId":47060,"journal":{"name":"Biomarker Insights","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49488601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is not known whether the DFS70 autoantibodies are protective or pathogenic. One of the factors suspected of inducing the formation of anti-DFS70 antibodies is increased oxidative stress. We evaluated the coexistence of anti-DFS70 antibodies with selected markers of oxidative stress and investigated whether these antibodies could be considered as indirect markers of oxidative stress. Methods: The intensity of oxidative stress was measured in all samples via indices of free-radical damage to lipids and proteins such as total oxidant status (TOS), concentrations of lipid hydroperoxides (LPH), lipofuscin (LPS), and malondialdehyde (MDA). The parameters of the non-enzymatic antioxidant system, such as total antioxidant status (TAS) and uric acid concentration (UA), were also measured, as well as the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). Based on TOS and TAS values, the oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated. All samples were also tested with indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and 357 samples were selected for direct monospecific anti DFS70 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) testing. Results: The anti-DFS70 antibodies were confirmed by ELISA test in 21.29% of samples. Compared with anti-DFS70 negative samples we observed 23% lower concentration of LPH (P = .038) and 11% lower concentration of UA (P = .005). TOS was 20% lower (P = .014). The activity of SOD was up to 5% higher (P = .037). The Pearson correlation showed weak negative correlation for LPH, UA, and TOS and a weak positive correlation for SOD activity. Conclusion: In samples positive for the anti-DFS70 antibody a decreased level of oxidative stress was observed, especially in the case of samples with a high antibody titer. Anti-DFS70 antibodies can be considered as an indirect marker of reduced oxidative stress or a marker indicating the recent intensification of antioxidant processes.","PeriodicalId":47060,"journal":{"name":"Biomarker Insights","volume":"17 ","pages":"11772719211066791"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/d1/ff/10.1177_11772719211066791.PMC8808033.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10268728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
